Yoga Teachers Certification Training - 200hr RYT

Divine Motion Yoga is offering an opportunity to advance your understanding of yoga as a 'science of wellness' from a perspective rooted in the richness of timeless tradition. The intention of this course study is not just to certify teachers but to bring education and community to a family of practitioners and teachers of Yoga that understand it is more than just a popular physical exercise.

The sages revealed in detail the tools necessary to understand how we can dissolve the obstacles that keep us from the experience of life we desire. The ancient recipes for good health, prosperity, and peace are the gifts of these sages that are revealed in an authentic yoga practice. Our training will provide everyone the opportunity to experience and learn how these building blocks of philosophy, tradition, and practice are formulated to competently guide us on a journey of fulfillment.

To be a qualified guide or teacher takes time, study and dedication to practice. It is also important to move beyond mere intellectual understanding and embody the teachings. With this in mind we created a comprehensive course separated into eight 25 credit hr modules of training (3day Intensives). Each day of training will include a morning practice, meditation, lecture and practicum. There will be one block offered per month, July thru October and then Feb thru May of each year. Anyone who desires to learn more about yoga is invited to participate in as many of the trainings as they like. A certificate of Traning will be awarded upon completion of each module. Upon Completion of all 8 trainings and final exam participants will be awarded an internationally recognized, 200hr RYT (Registered Yoga Teachers) Certification.

We will also provide a mentorship to help guide those that desire additional assistance to incorporate the course outline into their teaching and or daily lifestyle. This service is available to participants of the Teachers Certification Program that have completed at least three Training Modules. We are committed to help each and every person who attends the training to understand the complexities of authentic yogic practice and philosophy in order to enrich their lives and the lives of others around them.
